As the year comes to an end, it is an opportunity for reflection and goal-setting ahead of the new year, with around 74% of people set to make New Year’s resolutions. This is a chance to ditch old habits, achieve new goals, or embrace the best version of yourself.

Your zodiac sign can shine a light on the habits that could be holding you back, so with that in mind, Tarotoo’s team of psychics and tarot experts have revealed the best New Year’s resolution for each star sign.

The New Year’s Resolutions for Each Zodiac Sign
Aries – Think before you leap
Aries are impulsive, and this impulsiveness often can get them into trouble. They can find themselves making rash decisions on a whim or catch themselves blurting out the wrong thing without fully thinking it through
How to: Before reacting in the moment or making spontaneous decisions, take a few deep breaths before speaking, or pause and write down the pros or cons before making a decision. This can help you practise slowing down, making smarter choices, and reducing stress.
Taurus – Open up to new ideas
Taurus’s stubbornness can hinder their opportunity for growth in all areas of their lives, including relationships, careers, and even health. Opening up to new ideas not only makes you more flexible and less stubborn but also helps tackle your self-reliance troubles – let someone else help you.
How to: In 2026, try actively seeking someone else’s perspective before deciding at least once a week, and try something new, no matter how big or small, to change up routines, habits, and your idea of perfect.
Gemini – Follow through with your goals
Geminis love variation, and that can often cause them to lose focus on goals, often flip-flopping between goals, dreams, and even simple tasks, leaving them feeling like they can’t commit.
How to: Choose one personal or career goal each month and commit to completing it before moving on to something new, tracking your progress in a planner or journal. Try telling others of your goals to stop yourself from quitting.
Cancer – Let go of grudges
Cancer’s emotional intensity is a great trait, but it can often lead to them being overly sensitive and holding onto grudges and unnecessary stress. Enriching emotional awareness and letting go of grudges will help bring inner peace and strengthen relationships. Trying to separate your emotional feelings from objectivity can be tough, but rewarding when you tackle it.
How to: Every week, start journaling your emotions and consciously practicing forgiveness for perceived slights – most of the time, we find our minds running to interpret situations and conversations as insulting or disrespectful, even if it wasn’t intended that way.
Leo – Practice humility
Leos love attention and admiration but can sometimes be perceived as arrogant or vain. Practicing humility will help them still shine, but in a more meaningful way.
How to: Once a day, compliment someone else and make a point to actively listen and validate their feelings and opinions without turning the conversation back to yourself.
Virgo – Be less critical
Virgos’ pursuit of perfection can cause them to be overcritical of themselves and also of their relationships. Practising positivity can help foster self-compassion, which will benefit all areas of your life.
How to: Point out one positive trait or an accomplishment in yourself a day, and work on reframing any negative or critical thoughts about yourself into constructive suggestions that are actionable rather than unproductive insults.
Libra – Eliminate indecisiveness
Libras’ love of weighing up every option and fear of conflict can lead to indecisiveness and procrastination. So learning how to be decisive is critical, but starting with the small stuff will help create the decisive mindset for quicker decision-making in serious situations
How to: Set a small daily goal to make a decision quickly, whether it’s what to have for dinner, what to wear, or what to watch on TV. Move on to bigger decisions slowly by setting deadlines for when you need to make a decision and sticking to them.
Scorpio – Work on your jealousy
For Scorpios, they can struggle with jealousy, so shifting focus to gratitude and using others’ success as a way for motivation, not competition or comparison, will help Scorpios’ growth and personal relationships.
How to: Keep a gratitude journal where you note down other people’s achievements with genuine celebration and practice sharing them honestly to bring others up. You can also reflect on your own strengths weekly to rewire yourself to have a growth mindset rather than struggling with comparison.
Sagittarius – Think before you speak
Sagittarius’ brutal honesty and blunt communication style can unintentionally hurt others, but practising mindful communication will help strengthen friendships as well as romantic and professional relationships
How to: Before speaking, ask yourself, “Will this help, or hurt?” By asking yourself this, you will avoid unnecessary harm and stop yourself from speaking without considering other people’s perspectives. Practise softening your critiques and framing them constructively rather than as an unintentional insult.
Capricorn – Be more optimistic
Capricorns can often find themselves being pessimistic, either naturally or as a way to protect themselves from the worst. But practising being more optimistic can have a drastic change on not only your perception of situations but also the outcome. Believing the worst can make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How to: Start a daily or weekly routine of listing three positives or potential opportunities within your life, even in challenging times.
Aquarius – Connect emotionally
Aquarians can be quite withdrawn and detached from others, and their independence can feel like emotional distance. Making a conscious effort to nurture your relationships will not only reduce feelings of isolation but also strengthen your connections.
How to: Schedule regular check-ins with friends or family where you practise active listening, caring about them, and learning what is going on in their lives, as well as expressing your feelings openly, will help remove the distance between you and your loved ones.
Pisces – Face challenges head-on
Pisces’ habit of avoiding reality can make them tremendous procrastinators and can often cause spiralling into late payments, missed deadlines, messy homes, and avoiding uncomfortable conversations and tasks.
How to: Identify one area of your life you have been avoiding, anything from finances, career, and health to relationships. Split this big area into one small task every week to complete to
